Coverage note

Limited dataset coverageMetrics reflect currently indexed records and may not represent complete market activity.

Every figure above is a deduplicated canonical observation: duplicate filings of the same shipment are collapsed once, so these are record counts, not row counts. Provider-reported roles are shown unchanged, and personal contact details and free-text product fields are never published.
